Re: Labeling Requirements per Industry Canada
Thank you very much, Kevin and others. In addition, IC recommends a Canadian representative signed letter accompanies each application to speed up the certification process. An IC officer gave me the following labeling clarification: 1. If a marketing company would like to use the OEM's ID number, the marketing company is allowed to use its name (marketing company name). However, the name of the certificate holder (OEM), model number, and ID number must in an user accessible location (such as battery compartment). 2. If a marketing company would like to use its own ID (not expose any original manufacturer's information), a marketing company requests an authorization letter from the OEM and file "multiple listing" with the IC.

Re: Labeling Requirements per Industry Canada
Dear Dennis and Others, Thank you very much for your reply online and offline. I contacted Industry Canada as suggested. IC refers to RSP-100 for an answer. I excerpt a section below for your reference. Best regards, Grace " 5.3 Multiple Listing Multiple listing of a certified model is required when a manufacturer or distributor wishes to list under its name and unique model number, certified equipment of an original equipment manufacturer (OEM). A model of equipment may be multiple-listed to other manufacturers or distributors based upon the approval granted to the original applicant and certificate holder. In order to obtain a multiple-listing certification, the following documentation must be submitted to the Bureau: (a) the model number and certification number of the approved equipment; (b) a signed letter from the original applicant and certificate holder authorizing the Department to use information on file to grant a multiple-listing certification. The name/model number and certification number of the radio equipment must be shown. The letter must also declare that the model to be multiple-listed is identical in design and construction to the originally approved model; (c) a letter, from the applicant, requesting the certification; (d) completed and signed original copies of Appendix A and Appendix B; (e) completed and signed copies of Appendix A and Appendix B of RSS-102 - Radio Frequency Exposure Compliance of Radiocommunication Apparatus (All Frequency Bands); and (f) a drawing, sample or illustration of the product label.
